Speak to the Elephants in the Room

To get what you want, it is important to speak directly to the issues at hand. Speaking truth to power will be appreciated and respected. Examples of what to say:

How can I help you to achieve your goals?

I can see something is bothering you. Can I help?

May I have a few minutes to share some concerns I have?
